𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 @ 𝗢𝗟𝗠!
𝘋𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 3 𝘰𝘯 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘵 last Friday looked at how couples can increase their intimacy by expressing appreciation to each other, recognizing their differences, learning to negotiate disagreements, and supporting each other. There is value in seeing each other's differences as complementary if couples are to work effectively together as a team.
Below is a pictorial recap of the edifying evening. Let's continue to be in prayer for all the couples taking part at 7 Great Dates @OLM as they continue to invest in their marriage; Come Holy Spirit to all the couples!

There are times when life is overwhelming when all we have is questions. In those moments, hope can feel far away. The great thing about prayer is that it shifts our perspective toward the One who stands ready to listen. No matter what you’re facing, we’d love to pray with you. Submit your prayer requests at this link olmercy.com/prayerforme/
🙏 Prayer Ministry takes place monthly at MAGNIFY and on the last weekend of the month Mass times.

Who is Saint Mark?
Jesus said to them, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.” (cf. Mark 16:15)
Tradition holds that Mark, the author of the second Gospel, is the “John Mark” of the Acts of the Apostles, Barnabas’ cousin, and a co-worker with Peter in Rome. According to Saint Clement, Mark wrote his account “at the insistence of the Christians of Rome.” Many early Church Fathers believed that Mark “signed” his Gospel with the account of the mysterious young man who fled the Garden of Gethsemane when Jesus was arrested, leaving his linen cloth behind (15:51-52). Mark is believed to have been martyred in Alexandria, Egypt.
MEDITATION OF THE DAY
Mark was the son of Mary, a widow who hosted early Christian gatherings in her home (Acts 12:12). Although he was not one of the twelve apostles, it’s likely that he was one of Jesus’ followers. Mark accompanied Barnabas and Paul on their first missionary journey, but for some reason, he left them prematurely (13:13). When it came time for Paul’s next trip, he didn’t want to take Mark along. In Paul’s eyes, Mark had deserted the cause of the gospel (15:38).
Fortunately, Barnabas didn’t give up on him. While Paul went on to Syria with Silas, Barnabas took Mark to Cyprus (Acts 15:39-41). Tradition tells us that Mark went on to Rome, became Peter’s interpreter, and later wrote his Gospel. A second chance was all he needed. Paul eventually forgave Mark, commending him for his service and calling his companionship “helpful” (2 Tim. 4:11). Tradition holds that Mark founded the church in Alexandria.
What if Barnabas had rejected Mark because of his earlier failure? Mark might never have become Peter’s “son” in the faith. What’s worse, he might never have written his Gospel—which means that Matthew and Luke might not have written theirs!
Like Barnabas, we need to give people a second chance. No one is perfect. Everyone needs the gift of a new beginning. God’s grace and love can cover a multitude of sins. Our willingness to mend relationships can make a difference not only in our lives, but even in eternity!
